The Overflow in Venice.

An American traveller while in Venice met a man dressed in the unmistaksble 'toggery" of the Mississippi river bottoms.
 "Ah," said the traveller, approaching the southerner, 'T am not acquainted with you, but am glad to see you, for I know you are from my country"
 ''I am from Mississippi
 ''I know it." said the traveller, extending his hand. "What do you think of Venices"
 HWell, don't reckon I oughter express my opinion, fur didn't git here till airter the overflow, an hain't had chance to see the town, but as the water pears to be on @ stand now I reckon it'll begin to go down putty soon, an low that when she starts she'll go down right peart."
 s'My gracious, man, this is not an over- fow."
 ''Then it's about as lively freshet as ever I seed. In our country, when we have to paddle round the streets in canoes we call it booty good overflow"
 F'You don't understand. This is Venice and the water is always here."
 ''You don't say so. An does the govern ment issue rations to all these folks?"
 "Of course not. This town was built this way to-"
 "Wall that mount be, but I call it an overflow all the same; but if it ain't going to fall enough for me to see the town I reckon I'd better go. This is the blamest swumy I ever seed"

In Elizabeth's Time.

Sketch for Children in Leeds Mercury.j
 The reign of Elizabeth, as regards the manners and dress of the people, witnessed what is called 8 reaction The country had lost a good deal of wealth under former Tu- dor sovereigns and the people were oppressed. The poor were hard worked and not well paid, and were by no means so we'll off as they were earlier in our history. Instead of going forward we had gone back. We know from old writings that have come down to us that in the middle ages even beggars in Eng land thought themselves hardly treated when offered any but the best of food; while other writers, dealing with the reigns just before Elizabeth's, show that barley and rye bread, often mixed with beans, was the common food.
 The great bulk of the people in the six teenth century had to live in houses without chimneys, and had straw for bed and log of wood for pillow. Their forefathers two centuries before were much better off. The age of Elizabeth brought great improve ment, however, on the domestic and educa- tional condition of the land. During that time we made up great deal of lost ground. The people breathed more freely. They had sense of independence and liberty that had been lacking for a long time. Great writers arose, arts hourished, comfort was seen where before there was poverty. The people who lived in that wonderful age delighted in it. They were proud of it, as we are of the Victorian era. Looking back upon it we see that 1t was great epoch in our national life; and generations hence, we believe, those who come after us will look back with wonder

Maud Howe's Newport Letter in the Boston Tran
 scriptl

Maud Howe's Newport Letter in the Boston Tran script.l
 Yesterday I passed all hour on the sea- sands, watching the cool beryl-green waves frothing into foam flowers as they broke on the hard white shore, looking at the bathers as they passed to and from their cabins, and at the swimmers buffeting with the waves or quietly swimming in the deep water beyond. A canoe propelled by vigorous young man carries as passenger girl who is pretty and young, if we may judge by appearances. She leans back in the canoe with the air of a Ve- nus Victrix; every movement of her small head and 1.-the, light body bespeaks the tyr- amy of youth and beauty. He has yielded to the tyrant, the reigning bell of the hour; we see that even from the shore, by the in tent rapt manner with which he watches her slightest movement. She is a good swim mer as well as good dancer, as is shown by little trick she plays upon her companion. She attracts his attention to something on the shore, and when his head is turned away leaps from the canoe with 8 quick move ment, upsetting the light bark and tumbling her escort all unexpectedly into the water. He sinks, rises, catches his paddle, and, toss ing it into the empty canoe, starts in pur- suit of the water-nymph, whose strong, quick strokes have carried her well away from him. He swims after her, first on his back, then on his side, then like a wind mill, whirling his arms round and round and making great splashing and to do in the green water, which heaves in soft, unbroken pillows beyond the line where the waves break He is gaining on her slowly and surely, and at last they are neck and neck. Her head, innocent of dis6guring bathing cap or hat, is lifted we'll out of the water. The sun strikes her bright hair and her glis- tening white throat; he is well up with her now, and he throws about her neck deli cate chain of brown seaweed, which he has ing overtaken, she turns about and they both swim back to their canoe. All this incident have watched through the powerful field glass lent me by friend who comes to claim the glass, and see no more of the little mat inee performance by two unknown actors.

THE OLKOMARGARIN ACT.

| uo OA0oLuh1SdIluo dCI peSs0u py SoukresS about year ago has now been in operation eight months. The Garden City Dairy com pany of Chicago has investigated to some extent its working, and the results of the in- vestigation are interesting It was expected that the act would cause a rise in the price of butter. But there has been pretty steady fall in the price of butter, the wholesale price of creamery at Elgin, Illinois, having declined from 2714 cents in November, 1886, when the law went into operation, to 19 cents in July, 1887. The winter prices of 1887 were about three cents lower than those of the corresponding months 4Januarys February and March) of 1886 and 1885. This is explained by the fact that in antici- patton that butter would rise the making of butter increased.
 The price of oleomargarine has not ad- vanced, in spite of the large license fees re- quired-$480 from the wholesale and $4S from the retail dealer. But the number of retailers of oleomargarine has been cut down from 40, 900 to about 2,000 and the manufac. ture of the article has been reduced from 100, 900, 900 pounds to 100000 Another 01iSoH daS Doou to STeALly 1ncrotts6 the eXpOf- tation of the article to foreign countries, where it comes in competition with butter, including of course American butter
 There is no doubt that the law has drawn the line between oleomargarine and butter, and the buyer is now pretty sure of getting what he pays for. But it cannot be called a very successful law. The New York Even ing Post hits the mark when it says: The un- just and tyrannical nature of the law is suf- fciently disclosed by the fact that for the privilege of selling wholesome and nutri- tious and much desired article of food, at wholesale, nearly five times as much is charged by the government as for the selling of intoxicating drinks and nearly twice as much at retail. Indeed, no reason was ever advanced and none exists for requiring any license fee whatever. A license fee is either revenue measure or regulator of delete~ rious traffic. It is not pretended that reye- nue was the object, or one of the objects, of the oleomargarine law. It can no longer be pretended that the selling of this article, under the very rigid regulations now in force to prevent deception, is deleterious traffic. The exorbitant license fee serves merely to prevent the retailer from supplying the er- tic1e to the customers who want it.

 John Bright, writing to the secretary of the London Peace society, who is one of the deputation coming to the United States to present memorial to President Cleveland in favor of the establishment of an interna- tional arbitration treaty, says: There is talk of permanent arbitration treaty between the United States and England. The project is reasonable one and discussion may lead to it's adoption. If the government of the United States were willing and were in any way to signify it's willingness to become a party to such treaty, there is force of good men with us to induce our government to consent. If this be done, it will be 8 grand step forward in the worlds march, and be followed in some not distant time by other nations willing to escape the sorry bur den of military armaments. Two hundred members of the House of Commons signed the arbitration memorial But far more than this number will be ready to urge the ac- ceptance of the treaty upon our government. If the action taken at Washington be favor able to the success of the scheme, England and the United States will still be two na- tions, but would have them always regard themselves as one people. An arbitration treaty, honestly made and adhered to, would tend much to bring about this blessed re- suIf

GETTING BROWN AT HOME.
Where the Beautiful Brown Col
 Comes From.

Where the Beautiful Brown Color Comes From.
 "Don't think the beautiful brown color you see on the faces of many people you meet on the street is the work of the suns rays" said wel1-known facial artist to a Philadelphia Daily News reporter yesterday.
 ssHow else could that healthy color be ac- quired!"
 ''Very easily. I am in the business and all such things are plain to me. A young woman passed just now. I at once noticed that her color was artificial" To casual observer it would appear that old Sol was alone responsible for the rich brown, but to an experienced eye the agency of art was easily distinguishable. She had upon her face Mikado paint. This is g grease paint used by actors. It is a dark brown, but when relieved by little powder it becomes a tan color that would deceive nearly everybody.
 "You noticed the scaling skins on her wrists, didn't you2 We'll, that was artificial too."
 ttHow in the world can they produce arti- Rcial blistersW
 'sJust as easy as they do the brown color. They use preparation of which starch is the principal ingredient. It adheres to the flesh and is picked of in scales, the same as an old sun blister"
 The reporter determined to make inquiry in other sources Going to well know wig makers establishment, where grease, paints and cosmetiques were sold, he learned that his artist friend had told him the truth.
 eve sell" said the wigmaker, Ca large quantity of Mikado paint. The purpose for which it is bought is well known to us, as the purchaser almost invariably asks us how to apply it to produce color like that given by the sun.
 ssI have frequently seen the pale individu- als who have purchased the paint, pass the store two or three days afterward, brown as berry and looking ss if they had been 8 month in the mountains or by the seaside.
 seThe Mikado is valuable addition to art, and is the leading craze at the present time. There is no use spending twenty or thirty dollars for few days colorings by the sea when the same effect can be produced by an outlay of twenty-five cents.

Pumpkin Pies Have Set In.

New York Mail and Express.
This is the opening week of the pumpkin pie
season, and that fact ia announced by display
of enormous pumpkins on the sidewalk in front
of Fulton -street bakery. The pumpkins
from two to three feet in diameter and weigh
from $50 to 200 pounds each.
The proprietor informed q reporter that the
largest ever brought to the bakery weighed 331
pounds
''It was bouncer." said he, land it took four
men to carry it in at night. We expect some big
ones this year. All the large ones have a name
grown them in raised letters Tho name is
cut through the skin when they
growing, and it heals up leaving a raised
scar just the shape of the inscription. Some
of the names given them are Baby Mine, Dow
DROP Jumbo and the like. They are what is
known the Mammoth Chilli Pumpkin and
are raised at Esopus, the Hudson. The
vines are sometimes sixty feet long. and are
planted in rich soil. They wa,ered every day
unless it rains and the pumpkins grow fast
that they will tear themselves from the vines,
unless the vine is loosened. If one of these
vegetables happens to grow under a
fence it will lift the fence up, If 1t grows on
a fence it is very apt TO break the fence down.
A farmer out at Hoboken let one OF the pumpkin
vines grow over his grape arbor. Two of the
big fellows came out on top and the arbor broke
down"
''How many pumpkin pies do you make a

"Seven hundred now, and a little later, when
